72k posts could be just a handful of active accounts. My own has 15k or so posts and I often don't touch it for weeks at a time.

I'm reading Speaker for the Dead on a real, physical book at the moment, after buying and reading Ender's Game on Kindle. Why? Because Amazon won't sell me the Speaker ebook in my region - but they're happy to sell me books 1, 3 and 4. Well

Firefox 14.0.1, Windows 7 x64. Grey line is visible for a split second as page loads then disappears. EDIT: well now this is bizarre - it disappears and reappears as I scroll.

I manage a repo that has the bare bones of a roguelike in many languages. It's a little more involved than a Hello World in that it needs to handle input, output, state etc. I could always use more languages if anybody wants to pitch in. h

Great idea. Unfortunately all of the people I was paired with wanted to draw pictures of penises, scribble over the whole thing, or leave after 15 seconds.
